Arbitrage (movie)

"The Interview" wasn't supposed to change the way Hollywood movies are released. But perhaps the most lasting effect of the raunchy comedy could be in the way Americans go to the movies — or don't.

The farce at the center of a crippling cyberattack on Sony Pictures Entertainment unwittingly became the highest-profile example of a film debuting online at the same time it hits theaters.

Benefiting from unprecedented publicity, "The Interview" took in an eye-catching $15 million in its first four days of online sales and rentals, more than five times its box-office tally over the holiday weekend.
